Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toast the coconut in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until it’s light brown (watch carefully so it doesn’t overcook). In a food processor, combine dates, almond butter, ⅓ cup toasted coconut, ½ tablespoon mini chocolate chips, salt and vanilla. Process until mixture resembles a ball of dough. Place dough in a bowl and use hands to mix in remaining chocolate. Roll dough into 12 balls (each ball takes about 1½ teaspoons of the dough) and roll each ball in remaining coconut. Store the balls in your refrigerator until ready to eat.
